I see you guys already posted a few eclipse pics yesterday,but I thought I'd throw in a few of ours. I shot a little bit of a time lapse at the back of Lee Little's Oliver 1850 and trailer as it got darker and at totality. I think I got them a little mixed up and have the total one second instead of third,but you can see the difference. I didn't even shoot one before it started. You get the idea though. We could see stars.
I've gotta tell you,I kinda knew going in what I would see,but I had no idea what I'd feel. I didn't get all choked up and teary eyed or anything like that,but I felt a child like sense of wonder that I haven't felt in probably 50 years. I told Lee that I felt sorry for anybody who wasn't seeing this. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience that can never be duplicated and was worth every bit of money and aggravation that it took to get there.
When we were on our way back to the cabin after the eclipse and our visit was over,I was driving through the Valley of the Three Forks and this is no lie,the darndest feeling come over me and I thought "God it's good to be alive!". That's how moving it all was.
I want to give a very special thanks to Lee and Karen for hosting us. You guys made a once in a lifetime event even more special with all you did for us. We'll never forget you guys or be able to possibly pay you back. That doesn't mean we'll ever stop trying though. Thanks for everything from the bottom of our hearts.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
